Career

Arputhan made his directorial debut through Arputham (2002), a romantic drama film produced by R. B. Choudary. The film starred noted choreographer Raghava Lawrence, Kunal and Anu Prabhakar in the lead roles, and won positive reviews upon release. A reviewer from ChennaiOnline.com noted "it is debutant director Arputhan's arrangement of scenes and his thoughtfully written lines in the second half that stand out".[1] A critic from The Hindu noted "Arpudhan's story is predictable and his dialogue passable, yet his screenplay and direction are strong points".[2]

Arputhan went on to make another film for R. B. Choudary in Telugu titled Love Today (2004), starring Uday Kiran and Divya Khosla Kumar in the lead roles. He subsequently made a return to Tamil cinema through Manathodu Mazhaikalam (2006), a romantic drama starring Shaam, Jayasurya, Nithya Das and Sameksha in the lead roles.[3] In 2007, he worked on En Peyar Enna, a short film with no dialogues featuring schoolboy V. P. Kishorekumar in the lead role.[4]
